Planning policy aims to ensure that development and changes in land use occur in suitable locations, are sustainable and provide protection from inappropriate development in the long term public interest.

​Applications to establish neighbourhood planning forums

In 2016, the Mayor of Lewisham approved the establishment of neighbourhood forums for Lee and Deptford Neighbourhood Action. This means that there are now five approved forums in Lewisham (Crofton Park & Honor Oak Park and Grove Park, which were approved in 2014 and the Corbett Estate, which was approved in 2015).
Please see the neighbourhood planning page for further information.
